The new driver release carry a new name (the same used for the Windows counterpart) and version numbering (7.11 stays for year 2007, month November). It is still a proprietary closed-source driver.

The main improvement is the full support to 2.6.23 kernel. This solves the Suspend/Hibernation problems recently found due to the incompatibilities between older fglrx driver and SLUB memory allocator (default in the 2.6.23 kernel).
